Fullpath or execution dir on widows/linux/mac[SOLVED]

[Lo-X]

I meant you need to print the line somewhere in your app or in a file or something. The code I provided you is console only since it printf() in the console. So when you doubleclick on it nothing visible happen

[wmbuRn]

Yup, but the way you said it i tought you want me to actualy double click on console application and see what happends

Anyway put Hiura code into my app
This is output from terminal when i start compiled and builded application with ./Swing Studio 0:
/home/xwm/Developing/Swing Studio 0.4.0/bin/Debug/Swing Studio 0  << my #define __linux
/home/xwm/Developing/Swing Studio 0.4.0/bin/Debug                            << Hiura code

This is output from IDE terminal when i start application from IDE:
/home/xwm/Developing/Swing Studio 0.4.0/bin/Debug/Swing Studio 0 << my #define __linux
/home/xwm/Developing/Swing Studio 0.4.0                                            << Hiura code

EDIT: Typed Hiura Name/Nick wrong. My appology
EDIT NO 2. It was Lo-X code

[Hiura]

No surprise if he doesn't show the resourcePath() implementation

wof, it's only 15 lines of code to get only one string... not that much! 

@wmbuRn, as Lo-X said, you need to redirect the output to some file. Maybe it's easier with a simple shell script.

#!/bin/sh

echo `pwd` >> /tmp/wd
 

Or something in this spirit. Just make sure you have the right to write to /tmp/wd.

This is output from IDE terminal when i start application from IDE:
/home/xwm/Developing/Swing Studio 0.4.0/bin/Debug/Swing Studio 0 << my #define __linux
/home/xwm/Developing/Swing Studio 0.4.0                                            << Hilura code

Who is this Hilura guy?   

Note that my code has not the same intention as yours. It's normal to have such difference.

However, you point out something important: during development, if you're using an IDE, you don't want to use a full path... because your IDE doesn't create the binary in the expected folder. (Well, on Mac we don't care about that with .app bundle.)

So it seems there would be another issue to provide a 'resourcePath()' or 'workindDirectory()' method in SFML..

[wmbuRn]

#include <unistd.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(int, char**) {
    char* pwd = getwd(NULL);
    std::cout << "Working directory: " << pwd;
    free(pwd);
    return 0;
}
 

Cant compile:

=== hiura test, Debug ===
warning: ‘char* getwd(char*)’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/bits/unistd.h:222) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]|
warning: null argument where non-null required (argument 1) [-Wnonnull]|

error: ‘free’ was not declared in this scope|
=== Build finished: 1 errors, 3 warnings (0 minutes, 1 seconds) ===

Give me a minut or two to test another code

[Hiura]

Use getcwd instead (with Lo-X code above). I just saw in my man page

HISTORY

     The getwd() function appeared in 4.0BSD.

BUGS

     The getwd() function does not do sufficient error checking and is not
     able to return very long, but valid, paths.  It is provided for compati-
     bility.

But if it doesn't compile now, of what code were you talking about

[wmbuRn]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    char the_path[256];

    getcwd(the_path, 255);

    printf("%s\n", the_path);

    return 0;
}
 

My mistake again.
its Lo-x code i used in my application, and the one i posted results

[Hiura]

Well, my comment still holds : they don't share the same intention. It's normal to have such difference.

[wmbuRn]

Yes, i will test what you said in minute or two

[wmbuRn]

So what you want me to do with Lo-X code ?

[Lo-X]

So what you want me to do with Lo-X code ?

I just wanted have more clues about the fact that when you double click on the executable it faild loading images (as if it does not find them).

I think the issue is just over me now, I really don't know what's happening. Your executable should really behave the same way when you click or comand it (if you havent changed something like a path or I don't know).

I keep looking for a possible cause on my linux but.. nothing

[Lo-X]

Do you have a minimal code that reproduce the same bug ? 'Cause I have to install tuxGUI and compile everything, and given the time in France, it will be tomorrow =)

[wmbuRn]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "test");

    // Load a background
    sf::Texture background;
   if (!background.loadFromFile("Data/cb.bmp"))
   {
  return -1;
   }

    // load a sprite to display
    sf::Sprite sprite;
    sprite.setTexture(background);

        // Start the game loop
    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event Event;
        while (window.pollEvent(Event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (Event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        // Clear screen
        window.clear();

        // Draw the sprite
        window.draw(sprite);

        // Update the window
        window.display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
 

with cb.bmp being in "Data" folder. From terminal and from IDE it works, cant start application with double click on it. Nothing happends


EDIT: I could see only black screen on my app since i didnt have

// Draw the sprite
window.draw(sprite);
 

I have: gui.draw();  << since i use tgui

[Lo-X]

I just did that, I've got the image with editor, console and double clicking.

Perhaps it's a issue with you linux configuration or nautilus configuration.

[wmbuRn]

But the path to execution directory inside program will solve the problems i have with either linux or nautilus? [ i am using program pantheon-files]

[wmbuRn]

So back to beginning:

#ifdef __linux
#include <unistd.h>

std::string getexepath()
  {
  char result[ PATH_MAX ];
  ssize_t count = readlink( "/proc/self/exe", result, PATH_MAX );
  return std::string( result, (count > 0) ? count : 0 );
  }
 

Anyone have an idea how to fixthis code to get output of folder where the application is started without application name?
